Very true. It's important to have a line drawn somewhere.
IMO, if you grab a quarterback this year, the potential upside of the 2013 first rounder drops significant, because one thing you can't draft with it is your QB of the future.
And if you believe like I do that there are plenty of market inefficiencies caused by too many teams overvaluing the QB position, then you can still win on draft day 2013 by trading around with teams that need to position themselves for quarterbacks.
What you can't do is ever trade a future first rounder and potentially find out later that you had a quarterback you liked sitting where you would have picked him, and didn't have the pick. It's why you can't carelessly throw high draft picks around with no clear organization philosophy on how to improve.
